For You and a couple of Giveaways

Hi Bloggers.

Here's another card that was intended as a demo on Tuesday afternoon -

For the background, I inked through the Lattice Mask onto Coconut White Card using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I moved the mask along the card to extend the design. I ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Eternity Embossing Folder and inked around the edges with Tumbled Glass. I rubbed Pearl Moon Gilding Wax over the surface. I left it to dry for a few minutes and then buffed it up using a dry wetwipe.

I masked off the 'For' and the image panel on the For You Stamp, inked up the 'you' with Perfect Medium, removed the mask and stamped onto Aqua Card. I added Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Embossing Powder. On a separate piece of Aqua Card, I stamped the 'For' and the image panel from the Just a Note Stamp using Perfect Medium and embossed with True White Detail Powder. Icut them out and popped them down next to the 'you'. I selected a die to fit - the largest in Sue's Valencia Die Set, removed the 'For' and image panel and ran through the Calibur. I inked through the die with Tumbled Glass. I added the 'For' and the image panel using 3D Foam.

I cut a couple of leaves out of Aqua Card using Sue's Curled Vines Die Set. I swiped some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink onto my Craft Sheet and mixed in some Cosmic Shimmer Warm White Chalk Paint. I picked some up onto some Cut n Dry Foam and rubbed it onto a piece of White Crochet Ribbon. I left it to dry (you can also dry it with a heat tool), cut it down the centre lengthways and a flower.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Pearls to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Cosmic Pearl around the edges.

Rather than waste the afternoon demo packs, I have made up yesterday's and today's cards and I'm offering them up as a giveaway. So, please leave a comment on today's post and Monday lunchtime I'll make the draw for 2 winners to receive a demo card each.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    I love how the eternity folder gives so much to the inking from the mask. Its a lovely card and tbe stamps were used in a clever way. I was disappointed to by no 3pm show as I love watching you demo.

  38. Hi Julia
    Just want to say I was gutted about your 3pm show and I jolly well let then know about it on their Facebook page, so did a few others! It was an outrageous decision and I am still waiting for a proper answer! They said it was for 'Commercial, reasons, what on earth does that mean? Load of rubbish! Today's card is fab!
    Hugs
